First 1.8 release, friends. Was tested in a production enviroment, but can have some issues. As always, send me some feedback and happy elgging.

I've had this on my live site for 5 days now, and I haven't once had to manually remove a spammer.

Thanks for the mention Ray J.

Nice, quick question. Is this ok to be used with spam throttle?

Again a Big "Recommendation" from my side. :)

Hi Ray J 

I will test this out! 

@Flexx - Yes, this is perfectly ok to use with Spam Throttle.

Thans loads matt!

I have enabled the daily cron. But I was thinking, whats the purpose of cron in this plugin..

I´m using it and today I receive my first attack and the system was good to solve it.

Um spammer foi bloqueado durante o registro no site.
E-Mail: ch.r.i.s.o.g.sou.cons@gmail.com. 
IP: 91.207.5.54. 
Motivo: Stopforumspam e-mail blacklist.

Great work!

@purus  I´m agree.  The cron could be useless.

@Purus: The plugin blocks the spammer´s ip for about a week. The cron remove old IPs from the blocked list.

@RayJ; Gotcha.. Now I like the "cron" idea. :)

Thank you for this plugin... was using somthin simular for my forums.. but many thanks for this one..

I have tested in production environment it works fine. Thanks a lot about this pluggin.

But what about IP detection, I would like to contribute to stopforumspam.

Zirgit: Explain better. The plugin has IP detection using the Tracker Plugin.

This is a great plugin and works excellent! Got my first spammer blocked the next morning after install! Tested using Elgg 1.82 and works great so far. See report below,

A spammer was blocked during registration.                     
E-Mail: ceegeen@hotmail.com.
IP: 61.38.186.133.
Reason: Stopforumspam IP blacklist.

Rob, thanks for the feedback.

Nice it is working all the way.............

I tried to add a blacklist domain, mailinator.com and after clicking submit on the registration page I get a fatal error saying "Missing a required parameter, 'to' ". When I remove the entry from the domain blacklist, everything works fine. Any thoughts?

@Rob: I will make some tests. But should work.

Here is the error log:

Foolish me!

I forgot to set my email address in the spam filter plugin settings!!!

works again!

now I get a 403 forbidden error when I click register when this pulgin is enabled. Permissions erorr?

Most likely you got yourself marked as a spammer :)

Check to see if your IP address is in the blocked list.
